Superior Court convened at Macon
Tuesday. Only two cases were called. The
first was bill brought by James Lang
ston against mis- mother, Mrs. W. Lang
ston, to cancel deed TO certain property
lying near Macon. 1t seems that during
the war Mir. Baily hired James Lang
ston, who was then young man OF only
10 years, as a substitute for service in
tue war, the consideration of which was
to be $l,000-$l00 cash and a note for the
remainder. This note and the cash was
used in purchasing the property referred
to. When leaving tor the war ne in
structed his mother to have the deed
MADE in his name, at the same time say
ing TO her if he never returned the prop
erty was to 70 10 her and the children.
Acting on her understanding OF the mat
ter, a deed was made to Mrs. LangstOn
aud clildren, and now James Dangston
wishes TO have the deed brought into
court and Cancelled, and has brought
suit to that effect.
The money for the one-tenth ticket in
the Louisiana State Lottery, No. 49, S7,
held by parties at Rome, and which drew
a fractional part OF the capital prize, ar
rived Monday and was deposited in the
First National Bank by the express com
paDy to await d settlement OF a difference
as 10 its division. The amount is $l5, 900,
and the return ticket to New Orleans bore
the names of three parties, VIZ: Miss A b.
bic Webb, Prof. Clark and DR.. Tigner,
which would make $4,000 for each. Since
then, however, a question has sprung up
as TO whether the latter gentleman should
receive share, it bang claimed that he
took one OF the tickets soon after they
were received, and by so doing he drew
out of the pool. DIR. Tigrer, on the other
hand, asserts that he did take one OF the
tickets, but at That time and ever since it
was understood that all the parties inter-
ested were joint owners OF the three tick
cts. The matter will probably be carried
into court for settlement.
